LATAM launches Frankfurt-North Chile freighter

[ June 12, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

LATAM Group’s LATAM Cargo Chile arm has launched a weekly 767 freighter service between Frankfurt in Germany and Andrés Sabella Airport in Antofagasta, northern Chile.

It provides 25 tonnes of capacity and is aimed particularly at the mining industry,  mostly parts and components for machinery. The direct service removes the need for secondary connections or ground transportation from Santiago. From Chile, LATAM Cargo, transports high-value products such as salmon and fresh fruit on international routes.

Sales manager for Europe, Jorge Carretero, said: “By offering a direct flight from a strategic European hub such as Frankfurt, we are not only significantly reducing transit times, but also reinforcing our role as a partner capable of providing the network the industry requires across the region.”

LATAM Cargo Chile, together with sister companies LATAM Cargo Colombia and LATAM Cargo Brazil operate a combined fleet of 20 cargo aircraft on domestic and international routes, as well as passenger bellyhold capacity.
